Interlibrary Loan is Back!

Beginning this week, we are once again able to request materials from other libraries in the SWAN library consortium. So visit the library catalog and start hitting that “place hold” button.

Due to quarantine procedures, delivery of requested materials may take a few days longer than usual. So if there’s something you need urgently, please give us a call at 708-867-7828 and we’ll work our hardest to get it for you as quickly as possible.

Reopening the Building

Great news! Because cases of Covid-19 in our area have remained relatively flat, we’re able to move our opening date up. Starting Monday, July 13th, we’ll welcome you back into the library, Monday – Thursday: 11:30 AM – 7:00 PM and Friday – Saturday: 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM with some limited services and new safety precautions, including mask requirements.

Please visit eisenhowerlibrary.org/resumption to find out which services will or won’t be available and what we’ll ask of you to help us keep the library open.

Curbside Pickup

Starting today, were offering curbside pickup in addition to home delivery.

To request pickup or delivery, place holds on books, movies, or other items as you normally would. You can place holds online in the library catalog or by calling 708-867-7828. When your items are ready, we will contact you to arrange pickup or delivery.

For more information on our plan to resume library service visit, eisenhowerlibrary.org/resumption, give us a call, or try our live chat.

Independence Day

On July 3rd and 4th we’ll be celebrating Independence Day so no one will be available to answer the phones or monitor our online chat. If you need help, please leave a message and we’ll get back as soon as possible.

Have a safe and happy holiday. We’ll be back out in the community on Monday delivering library materials and preparing to start contactless curbside pickup.
